MPs on House of Commons ethics committee left in disbelief after Stephen Anderson said repeated references to 'Randy' were not in reference to Boissonnault. 

Speaking in the House of Commons on Wednesday, Conservative MPs Melissa Lantsman, Michael Cooper and Michael Barrett recounted Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault's statement at an ethics committee hearing from the day before that he was 'not the Randy' who sent a text to one of his former business partners.

“With regards to the infamous text message featured by a Global News story, the other Randy, I hope members of the committee can understand that this was an unfortunate autocorrect suggestion,” Anderson told MPs. “Unfortunately for Mr. Anderson, he doesn’t get to pick and choose … when and where he’s going to tell the truth.”He told MPs that he lied to Global News when first contacted about the text messages, explaining that he had “panicked” and said it was another business partner named “Randy.” He also referred to the other Randy as a woman during his testimony, but refused to identity them.

Boissonnault’s office added Wednesday that he has had “no communication” with Anderson since Global News broke the story about Anderson’s text messages, and no members of his staff helped Anderson prepare for his committee testimony.
